Read Part 1 of the daffodil story here, if you'd like to! :)
Short story: I was so close to picking the forsaken daffodil from the empty school lot today, but my roommate used her teacher voice and told I was going to be fined. I didn't get to take it home today, but all our schools closed until May 1st, so maybe tomorrow?
A poem based on "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams--read it here, if you haven't! It's a classic.
"This is Just to Say"
I have picked
the daffodils
that were in
the flower bed.
and which
you were probably
saving
for the children
Forgive me
they were so beautiful
so bright
and so cheerful
**No, I didn't pick them, but I thought this poem was the perfect fit for how I was feeling....and my possible legal defense in the future...? ;)
That mentor text is always fun... and I think you’d get forgiveness. Especially since we all need bright, cheerful things right now.
ReplyDeleteDaffodils always make me want to pick them. They are so cheery. And I love your "This is just to say" poem. One of my favorites
ReplyDeleteYou picked them!? I was wondering if you did... :) I would have done the same...too much beauty to not be enjoyed. What a playful "Part 2!"
